Like
any typical girl, I think sometimes about changing my hair color, and
since I am generally blonde, I think about what it'd be like to go
darker. That thought coupled with a sentimental feeling about my first
ever hair style (lots of bangs and lots of curls) led me to go old
school a bit in purchasing a new wig in a color darker than my natural
blonde and with fun bubbly curls in the back.

Whenever I purchase a new wig, it takes me about two hours to style it,
primp it, and get it just right to where I'm comfortable going out in
it. With this being Saturday morning, I had a bit of time on my hands,
and so I decided to get this wig ready to wear out in public. I was also
quickly running out of Always pads, and so I knew I at least needed more
pads, and then as I mentioned in my update where I got the pedicure, I
lost one of my large hoop earrings during that process, and so I needed
to replace those as well. Riding my high from my outing to Scheels and
Big 5 sporting goods last night, I thought Walmart would be a good place
to try out my new hairdo.

By
the time I was ready to go, it was about 10:30 AM, and if there's any
place busier than Scheels on a Friday night, it'd be Walmart on a
Saturday morning, but I have been feeling extremely confident of late,
and I really liked how cute this new hair was, and so I decided to just
go for it. As for my outfit, the weather was already hot outside, and so
I decided to wear my Old Navy flag tank top in white and then pair that
with my denim short-shorts. I'm not sure when I'm going to outgrow those
short-shorts, but it's not yet I'm happy to say. :) For my shoes, I
stuck with my white strappy sandals in order to show the world that I
just had a pedicure, and then I capped off my outfit with a cute
headband to enhance my bangs and then keep the curls more to the rear of
my head.

When
trying to pass out in public while wearing a wig, the trick is to make
the wig seem as if it has as little volume to it as possible. I do that
by exposing as much of my face as I can, and then I also love to tie the
hair in tight or use a head band, sunglasses, or some other accessory to
take the focus off of the hair itself and only use the hair as a
secondary means to pass. I want to the focus to be on my face and on my
outfit as those are my strengths. Anyway, since my outing last night
without foundation and powder was successful, I decided to try it again
this morning because really, how many girls do their hair and
makeup when going to Walmart?

As
I entered the Walmart parking lot, it was already quite full, and people
were bustling in and out from all directions, and actually, a chaotic
scene like this sometimes better when we're trying to pass because
customers really don't have time to people-watch. Without hesitation, I
grabbed my purse and headed for on of the entrances and noted how great
it felt to be out in the sunshine wearing a tank top. Nobody gave me any
looks as I entered, and I now had a credible voice to say hello when the
greeter welcomed me. The first stop this morning was the feminine
hygiene section where I selected a pack of 40 Always
maxi
thin pads. The last time I bought pads, I bought them in a long size
(they come in a green wrapper instead of yellow), and at the time, I
wasn't happy with the longer pads because they seemed so bulky, but I
have actually grown t like them quite well. For a girl like me who has a
bit of extra padding down there, I feel as if the longer pads give me
better coverage and help to provide a smooth front AND behind. And so
with the choice of the regular size or longer size, I chose to go long
again.

With my pads in hand, I next headed to the jewelry section to find a new
set of earrings. On my way, I made sure to pass the house wares
department where they stock the mirrors so I could take plenty of
selfies in front of the mirror both holding my pads and without. After
my impromptu photo shoot, I next walked over to jewelry passing people
along the way, but nobody seemed to notice that I was anything other
than a girl. When I found the mini-wall with the earrings, I was
standing like five feet away from the lady who worked in jewelry, but
she was busy wiping the class cases, and so I browsed through the
earrings. When I bought my original hoop earrings, they came in a
package of three: medium, large, and super-large. I used to always wear
the super-large size, and for today's outing, I had in the large
earrings and was quite satisfied with them, and so I chose some large
hoop earrings that had a bit of a design to them.
